Abstract
(Figure Presented) A rationally designed oligomerization inhibitor interacts with early intermediate assemblies of amyloid-β polypeptide (Aβ) through the aromatic elements and inhibits their assembly into the toxic oligomers that cause Alzheimer's disease by a unique Cα- methylation β-breakage strategy. The electrostatic potential of the low-energy conformation of the dipeptide inhibitor bound to Aβ is shown.
